ANGELS
IT HAPPENS LIKE THIS. ONE DAY YOU MEET SOMEONE AND FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON, YOU FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO THIS STRANGER THAN ANYONE ELSE—CLOSER TO THEM THAN YOUR CLOSEST FAMILY. PERHAPS BECAUSE THIS PERSON CARRIES AN ANGEL WITHIN THEM—ONE SENT TO YOU FOR SOME HIGHER PURPOSE, TO TEACH YOU AN IMPORTANT LESSON OR TO KEEP YOU SAFE DURING A PERILOUS TIME. WHAT YOU MUST DO IS TRUST IN THEM—EVEN IF THEY COME HAND IN HAND WITH PAIN OR SUFFERING—THE REASON FOR THEIR PRESENCE WILL BECOME CLEAR IN DUE TIME.
THOUGH HERE IS A WORD OF WARNING—YOU MAY GROW TO LOVE THIS PERSON BUT REMEMBER THEY ARE NOT YOURS TO KEEP. THEIR PURPOSE ISN’T TO SAFE YOU BUT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO SAVE YOURSELF. AND ONCE THIS IS FULFILLED, THE HALO LIFTS AND THE ANGEL LEAVES THEIR BODY AS THE PERSON EXITS YOUR LIFE. THEY WILL BE A STRANGER TO YOU ONCE MORE.
HE AND I
WHEN WORDS RUN DRY,
HE DOES NOT TRY,
NOR DO I.
WE ARE ON PAR.
HE JUST IS,
I JUST AM,
AND WE JUST ARE.
ALWAYS
YOU WERE YOU,
AND I WAS I,
WE WERE TWO
BEFORE OUR TIME.
I WAS YOURS
BEFORE I KNEW,
AND YOU HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN MINE TOO.
ALL OR NOTHING
IF YOU LOVE ME
FOR WHAT YOU SEE,
ONLY YOUR EYES WOULD BE
IN LOVE WITH ME.
IF YOU LOVE ME
FOR WHAT YOU HEARD,
THEN YOU WOULD LOVE ME
FOR MY WORDS.
IF YOU LOVE
MY HEART AND MIND,
THEN YOU WOULD LOVE ME,
FOR ALL THAT I’M
BUT IF YOU DON’T LOVE
MY EVERY FLAW,
THEN YOU MUSTN’T LOVE ME—
NOT AT ALL.
SOULS
WHEN TWO SOULS FALL IN LOVE, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE BUT THE YEARNING TO BE
CLOSED TO THE OTHER. THE PRESENCE THAT IS FELT THROUGH A HAND HELD, A VOICE
HEARD, OR A SMILE SEEN.
SOULS DO NOT HAVE CALENDARS OR CLOCKS, NOR DO THEY UNDERSTAND THE NOTION
OF TIME OR DISTANCE. THEY ONLY KNOW IT FEELS RIGHT TO BE WITH ONE ANOTHER.
THIS IS THE REASON WHY YOU MISS SOMEONE SO MUCH WHEN THEY ARE NOT
THERE—EVEN IF THEY ARE ONLY IN THE VERY NEXT ROOM. YOUR SOUL ONLY FEELS
THEIR ABSENCE—IT DOESN’T REALIZE THE SEPARATION IS TEMPORARY.
